Craig. My last swing reviews u said make a full turn. I find when I’m doing a pre swing my turn is fine. Without a club I can turn past 90 degrees. But when I’m hitting or videoing my swing I come up to 60 degrees. I don’t understand?

Hello Charles. Are you following along with the last review I gave you? This is another video I didn't link in the review. Good video. No worries. Just wondering. You stop turning because your arms start swinging. Once the arms takeover you won't rotate anymore.

The last swing review you sent in I was discussing the short game route or 9 to 3 for your motion. I was just saying I didn't remember linking the above video to your review.

Great lesson. Lately, I wasn't sure if leading with your core muscles around your torso or legs was the right way to go on the downswing. Drilled loading up the right leg and firing with the hips took all the thinking out of it.

I am a right hander with a dominant right eye. If, in turning so much, the right eye is blocked in terms of seeing the ball during the backswing, then the downswing leads to the dominant right eye having to reacquire the ball. For me, with that big a turn, the left eye sees the ball in a different location than it actually is. Does this affect the outcome?

Hi Malcolm, great question here. If you are nailing down your transition perfectly, this should not affect the outcome at all. This has a lot to do with your proprioception and also partly due to vestibular processing. Proprioception informs us of our body position in space. The vestibular system, also known as our balance center, is responsible for receiving information regarding our bodies movement in space, as well as, acceleration and deceleration of movement.

Is turning and loading onto the right hip consistent with the "5 minutes to Master Rotation" video?
May 5, 2020

Chuck
Yes. That video focuses on teaching people to rotate their upper body because the vast majority if our students over rotate their hips - at least it has always been that way. In these last couple live lessons you are seeing the opposite issue where they dont rotate enough. In the videos I tend to focus on the most common issues we see when speaking to a broad audience

As Steve has his trail arm/elbow so far behind him, and you do mention him being deep, will this not lead to the arms firing first and hence losing lag? So even when he gets his lower body working correctly he still won’t get full power as his arms will be giving it away? I appreciate you can only work on one thing at a time but is my logic correct please?

Chuck
Yes but cant fix everything at once as you said. Once he has the big picture body work down first then the arms are an easy fix

Chuck, I continue to marvel at these on-line, one on one evaluation videos as they fully evaluate the most common ingrained bad habits. I only wish you were around 60 years ago when I first took up the game of golf. Getting non-members to watch these videos is an absolute key to gaining memberships

Hi Chuck. I get that you want to energise Steve’s lower body, but in doing so there is a lot of head movement away from centre that he has to correct on the downswing. I see similarities with my head moving off centre due to lack of spine mobility. Is head movement not a concern for you?

Just finished Bootcamp. Really struggling with weight shift still. Feeling really stiff and unathletic. All arms. I had been keeping my lead leg knee ahead and just bending it straight ahead over the foot. Having it come in toward my back leg makes a big difference in whole back swing and loading up and shoulder turn and feeling athletic. I feel like I can throw by lower body at the ball. Will work on this. FYI- I am actually a left handed golfer but am right handed thrower. I am a longtime former higher level tennis player with a one handed backhand (right arm leads just like golf).. You would think golf would be easy transition with core movement. It's not. LOL. Allowing this knee to turn in feels like my one handed backhand movement where I load up on back (left) leg and then rip through. I never had weight shift problems in tennis. Have always had weight shift issues in golf. Thanks for good video. Here is what I mean in tennis. Load up weight on blackleg and turn shoulders back- and then unload to front on swing through. You actually stall out the hips just like DEAD drill and the arm whips through. I never have that feeling in golf yet.

Want to add one more picture. Here is Dmitrov when he then shifts his weight. This is just like the post up in DEAD drill. He shifts weight to fornt foot before the arm whips through. Notice the lag in racquet head. Look familiar??? LOL I do this in tennis without thinking. Have to get there in golf.

Seems like the common denominator in all these lessons is that it s really hard to lose the "hit instinct" and just trust the biomechanics of the the rotation. I've been on RS for 2 years and I often walk my home course in the evening when its empty so I can not worry about hitting bad shots on the course. Every shot that I pure has one thing in common. I don't think about anything other than WEIGHT SHIFT. Only 1 swing thought allowed and it can't be about anything above the waist. Even a bad backswing or bad turn usually ends up ok if you can just let the upper body and arms relax and get the weight back to the left side. The club usually manages to fall to into the "slot" unless you think about putting it there. Any thoughts? Phil

The issue is that most people dont take thr time or effort to train the body to move correctly before jumping into hitting balls - thats what leads to the hit instinct overtaking your body movements - hitting a ball. If you take the time to prioritize training the body then this is no longer an issue.

Chuck, Obviously, you're right about that, I think it's just human nature to give yourself verbal instructions when you're standing over the ball. Your body learns what to naturally do but when you tell it what to do, the fear of not executing the instruction is a ''death sentence"-tense muscles, death grip, short turn etc. Back in the 80's, the "inner game" books explained this perfectly. I think its true for any type of athletic movement.
